-'''Cherenkov radiation''' is a type of radiation emitted by plutonium, such as in [[HORNET mine]]s, when transitioning from [[Slipspace]] to realspace. It is extremely powerful, reaching across light-minutes. This is what gives Slipspace entry and exit the unique blue coloration, and usually alerts in-system enemy ships to their arrival. [[Covenant]] ships apparently also give off Cherenkov radiation, though whether it is emitted by plutonium or some other material on their ships is unknown.
